How to hug a Vampire? Part 2(Unity to fight the Enemy)


I have to confess, i am so nervous at the very start the Cullens and the Volturi went head to head. As i watch Alice approach Aro and offer to show him the future. Then fast forward all i remember is Aro ripped off Dr. Carlisle's head. To tell you the truth, i was shocked more than Esme did in the scene. I thought i heard someone from the crowd saying "Hindi ito nangyari sa book!!"(this was never happened in the book!!). The next thing i saw is Edward in shock and started running towards the Volturi (everybody follows him). The fight scene began. From this moment, everything became interesting. I was holding on to something and got really hooked watching Jasper's head being cut by one of Volturi's main member(ofcourse with the help of Jane). What really made me cry on the fight scene was the death of Seth and Leah, Seth was an innocent young wolf who volunteered to help the cullens against Volturi, Seth was attacked by Jane (Dakota Fanning) and killed by from the back by Volturi's member. And the other is Leah's sacrificial jump for Esme, who's almost pulled into the underground by Volturi's member. Leah reminds me of the bible teachings about loving your enemy, and to the extent by causing her life. Leah hates Esme so much but she still chooses to save her life.

Every christian is a vampire in his own way. The fight scene reminded me how each of us(vampires) are fighting against each other. Attacking each other, hating each other and even destroying each other. When in reality, all of us sucks. Whether we choose to be on Cullen's side, or Volturi's side. The fight scene is intense, and in reality nobody wins no matter what happen. Just like how Christians fight nowadays (not literally but by arguing about who will do it, and how will do it..). In the end nobody wins, and honestly division is the only way to solve it.

The Holy Spirit produces Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-Control. I don't see any reason for Christians to fight if those things are the fruits. The real enemy is Satan, who seek to destroy the work of God. And by making Christians fight each other, he is the one who's enjoy watching the movie(we are the movie).

The last part of the fight scene blows my mind. After Aro saw himself being killed and burned by Bella, He then realized that they should not continue fighting the Cullen's. All was just a mere imagination. Nobody would have thought that it will make an epic ending to the story. What a wonderful realization by Aro, which i believe should be the thinking of all Christians before going into the battle with fellow believer. If all of us will only realize that individually we are all affected, i think all of the arguments will be prevented. In this movie, every vampires has a gift, Bella has a gift of AOE barrier(Area Of Effect), she can defend by surrounding herself and others a barrier. Edward can read minds, Alice can predict the future. Just like many Christian has a gifts, a gift to encourage, to teach to give, to preach, and sometimes a gift to evangelize. How about use it for good and not against each other? The real enemy is Satan. Let's unite to fight him.

The fight scene ended but nobody was wounded. I hope we Christians all does.


United to fight the enemy! All for God's glory!
